By reading this I realized that I am hardly ever in a "quiet place." Usually I have my music blaring (especially on the road), my game turned up a lot, or there are a lot of people around me at work. The only times that I find myself in a truly quiet place are when I'm outside smoking a cigarette or when I'm walking around the house.

I'm usually a quiet fellow. I rarely say a lot among strangers and customers (except when I have to), but around my friends I can be pretty talkative. Sometimes at work, I try to see how long I can go and not say a word. If I remember correctly, it was almost an hour last time I tried.
